April 28th marks release day for Mythos, the long-in-development mythology-inspired hack-and-slash MMO. As a prelude, HanbitSoft and Frogster have released a massive patch to the game's current open beta client that, among other things, raises the level cap to 50 and introduces a new explorable region called the Umbral Peaks.
Dungeon play has also been optimized for groups according to a Frogster press release, and the client has received a "comprehensive localization update." Finally, lots of new guild-centric features have made it into the current build, chief among them a guild message board, storage safe, and a guild ranking system.
You can download the open beta client for free -- and learn more about the game -- at the official Mythos website.

I have been playing Mythos since Second Beta at an on/off stage due school and such. But this is one of these games that I keep falling back into, I played Mythos when it was under control by Flagship Studios.
If anyone wants to hook up ingame or needs help just add Nirri_CB on your friends list within the game and send me a PM whenever you are on.

I was like, "Umbral Peaks?!" - thinking that it was the same name as a zone in everquest, but that was Umbral Plains. I remember running through there a bit to get to Vex Thal, and Maiden's Eye.
Anyway, that was totally unrelated to the story.

As a tester of the Flagship version years ago, I can barely believe we're finally just a week away from the official release of Mythos! Huzzah!

Can the EU version be played in NA? If so are there any lag issues?

Eh... I liked the old Mythos more.
I miss the Gremlins and their sunglasses + cigar combo ._.

If it's open beta, and you don't need a beta key to play, and NA isn't IP blocked, why can't I log in?! ARGH!
